Search as you type in asp.net

Hey buddy,
Even i was facing same problem few days ago, coz i need to search in database which is a little time consuming, i thought its better to fine the perticular string in DATAGRIDVIEW.
I tried a lot and i got the solution at last.
In the Textchange event of ur searching textbox create a loop through rows of ur datagrid.
and try to find out using following method.
1. datagridview.rows[i].cells[0].value.contains(textToSearch) will give u text anywhere from ur cell
2. datagridview.rows[i].cells[0].value.startswith(textToSearch) will give u text starts with ur searching text
.
one more thing u need to do if u required is. try hiding those which fails in searching..

Be frank to ask anytime..
Best of luck..
